If you want to deploy an icon for your RemoteApp connection, you need a .ico file in the same folder and with the same name as the RDP file.

eg. if you have evernote.rdp, you would need to have an icon file evernote.ico in the same folder.

The WiX Toolset

RDP2MSI uses WiX to create the MSI. This is a free tool available for download.

RDP2MSI will automaticallytry to find the WiX installation, however if it cannot find the required files then you will need to copy the contents of the WiX bin folder into a folder called "WIX" in the same folder as RDP2MSI.

Settings

You can specify some settings by creating a file rdp2msi.ini in the same folder as the exe file.

[WIX]

BinPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin

# Specifies the path the the WiX bin directory in case it can't be found automatically.

[Settings]

ShortcutTag=remote

# Specifies the tag that is added to the deployed shortcuts.

# Tag will be removed altogether if /T is used at the command line.

AppPublisher=Company Name

# Specifies the publisher for generated MSIs.

# Remove this line and publisher will default to the name of the remoteapp.
